Overview

This app enables you to set up relationships between user accounts, and thereby enable certain 'super-account' users to easily manage and switch between 'sub-account' users. 

When there are users with a 'managed by' value that matches another user's 'manager code', then that user will be available for switching. When the manager user logs in, they will see the Switcher – A circular button with an account switcher icon that allows them to switch between customer accounts. It will only appear if there are available customers to switch to. The button’s position can be set to top-left, top-right, bottom-left, or bottom-right based on the configured settings. Clicking it triggers the Panel, and displayers the list of accounts that they can switch to.

You can find out more (on the official MyIntegrator website).


Settings

This setting allows you to create a custom field on the customer 'edit' pages which enables you to set that customer as a sub-account.

Press the 'create' button to instantiate the field if it doesn't already exist, and then select it from the dropdown field.

On your customer accounts, you can use the field to assign that customer a super-account, and that customer will be available as a sub-account to switch to for the user designated in that field.

Press the 'create' button to instantiate the field if it doesn't already exist, and then select it from the dropdown field.

On your customer accounts, you can use the field to assign the account a manager code, allowing them to be designated as a manager in other accounts. This user will be able to switch between sub-accounts.
